shot peening a distributor gear for a roller camshaft
Well that worked! :lol:
Not sure if the gears from Howard's can be pressed on or if they are only designed to be used with a pin?
Pretty sketchy way of pressing it out. 5 minutes of MAP Gas and then pushed my little 12 ton press to it's limit. Leaning into the press with nearly all my body weight, I took a moment to put on a face shield, then leaned into it a little bit harder. It let out a loud SNAP, I instinctively turned my head. I turned back to see where the bolt flew off to and to my surprise it was still there. A few more easy pumps and it was free from the gear.
Probably best to put some sort of shield infront of the press for next time!
